charlie clown 130 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Only seen The New World. Beautifully filmed, some of the best cinematography Ive ever seen and the art direction is magnificent. Story was a bit over-familar though with it being the Pocahontas thing. the slowness thing really didn;t seem an issue to me though - I was just gawping in wonder at hw great the whole thing looked. I'd make sure I watched it on a proper big telly though. Ours is only a moderate size and probably didn't do it justice. Link to post Share on other sites

Rovingronrobyrugbyreporter 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Gran Torino is excellent. Clints last film in front of the camera, very good. A bit sentimental, but very funny in parts and dramatic in others. Link to post Share on other sites
